Yoga Poses for cystocele

Body: 

Would like information on yoga poses to help with fallen bladder. Have just been diagnosed and want to do something,besides surgery, before problem gets worse.
Thanks, unomaw

Hi unomaw,

Please start with the FAQ section and Christine's blogs which you can link to from the home page wholewoman.com Also, use the search feature to look for the forum topic titled "WHOLE WOMAN FIRE BREATHING." Then, find the thread titled "Yoga and prolapse" where some of these issues were discussed. I too have moderate/severe cystocele - I use a pessary and I practice yoga, now with modifications to many of the poses.

Hi, unomaw.

I'm sold on The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health: A Lifelong Guide to Wellness by Linda Sparrowe & Patricia Walden. It's full of good asanas, with specifics on the poses for numerous problems from heavy flow, to pregnancy, to depression, to incontinence, to hot flashes.

I had asked several yoga/pilates teachers without luck and finally this book was recommended to me by a yoga teacher.
